34 Awesome Ways to Pamper Yourself

I have always enjoyed treating myself. Just last week I promised myself a fancy coffee with full-fat milk if I worked out five days in a row. Although I was incredibly sore, I did it, and I thoroughly enjoyed the $4 cappuccino in a hip atmosphere afterward! While it’s great when friends, family members, and significant others treat you to something unexpected for a special occasion, like your birthday, what about the other 364 days of the year? Life is too short to not treat yourself! After all, you work hard, so why not celebrate all the little, everyday accomplishments with a treat every now and then? Whether you’ve achieved a long-term goal that you have been working toward or simply had the most productive day ever and crossed off everything on your to-do list, here are 34 ways to treat yourself. Remember, you’re worth it, and you deserve it!

1. Get a massage.

2. Get a manicure and pedicure.

3. Get a facial.

4. Book a night at a fancy hotel. Take a bubble bath, order room service, and watch a movie.
